United claimed their third title in a row for the second time under Ferguson, making him the first manger in the history of English football to win the league in three successive years on two separate occasions. It was United's 18th title in their history and put them level with Liverpool for the record amount of titles in history. They also won the League Cup, beating Tottenham on penalties at Wembley. Ferguson did brilliantly to guide United to a second Champions League final in two years, however on this occasion they lost 2-0 to Barcelona and were unable to claim their third trophy of the season.
